For example, the most recent WP:AN case (<a class="external text" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Archive334#Help_needed_with_possible_violation">Link 2</a>) where Vice regent broke the article’s WP:CRP restrictions while Mhhossein tried to falsely blame me and Stefka Bulgaria for this (there <a href="/wiki/User:El_C" title="User:El C">El_C</a> suggested that it may be time to bring this to Arbitration). </p><p>After this, VR continued edit warring making another <a class="external text" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=People%27s_Mujahedin_of_Iran&diff=1031436193&oldid=1031434607">CRP violation</a>, and I <a class="external text" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:People%27s_Mujahedin_of_Iran&diff=1031588197&oldid=1031588061">warned them</a> that if they made another CRP violation I would have to report it, and they did <a class="external text" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=People%27s_Mujahedin_of_Iran&diff=1032972476&oldid=1032861609">made another CRP violation</a>.

However, as El_C <a class="external text" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case&diff=prev&oldid=1033576735">mentioned</a>, the report is not showing the important details and developments. Anyway, I guess we can not address the developments of MEK page without considering the history of the page and the fact that this page had been of a great interest to pro-MEK users and socks ("<i>It seems to be a fact that the socks are always here to defend the MEK (People's Mujahedin)</i>"– quote from <a class="external text" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=869836034">an uninvolved admin</a>). I would not expect such an unsual presence from the pro-MEK accounts when I <a class="external text" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=prev&oldid=847780324">did</a> make my first edit on the talk page of the article. At the time, I did not know that a dozens of those pro-MEK socks were <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/Atlantic12/Archive" title="Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Atlantic12/Archive">identified</a> by <a href="/wiki/User:TheTimesAreAChanging" title="User:TheTimesAreAChanging">TheTimesAreAChanging</a>.

I addressed multiple series of unilateral mass edits (For instance see <a href="/wiki/Talk:People%27s_Mujahedin_of_Iran/Archive_9#Shedding_light_on_the_5th_round_of_dubious_edits" class="mw-redirect" title="Talk:People's Mujahedin of Iran/Archive 9">"Shedding light on the 5th round of dubious edits"</a>-It was followed by the 6th round!). At last long, a very helpful restriction, i.e. <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Consensus_required" title="Wikipedia:Consensus required">Wikipedia:Consensus required</a>, was <a class="external text" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:People%27s_Mujahedin_of_Iran&diff=prev&oldid=901976892">implemented</a> after I <a class="external text" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:People%27s_Mujahedin_of_Iran&diff=prev&oldid=901826314">complained</a> about the edit war waves by the pro-MEK users (see <a href="/wiki/Talk:People%27s_Mujahedin_of_Iran/Archive_11#New_wave_of_edit_war" class="mw-redirect" title="Talk:People's Mujahedin of Iran/Archive 11">"New wave of edit war"</a>). It was a great (if not the greatest) improvement indeed, thanks to El_C's efforts and suggestions. I had always been the supporter of the <a class="external text" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:People%27s_Mujahedin_of_Iran&diff=prev&oldid=967974521">page stability</a> and I am keeping this idea till now (see <a class="external text" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:People%27s_Mujahedin_of_Iran&diff=1033260995&oldid=1033258672">latest comment</a> saying "stability matters"). Moreover, I think El_C can verify it was me and Saff V. who asked him to resume watching the page <a class="external autonumber" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:People%27s_Mujahedin_of_Iran/Archive_25#Absence_of_El_C">[65]</a>, while Stefka Bulgria et al. did not care what was happening. </p><p>Among other things, a big problem was that their "<b>own interpretations that contradict what the sources say</b>" (<a class="external text" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:People%27s_Mujahedin_of_Iran&diff=prev&oldid=1007502833">quote</a> from an <a href="/wiki/User:Fences_and_windows" title="User:Fences and windows">uninvolved admin</a>).

Stefka Bulgaria would use this excuse over and over (you can search for "misinformation campaign" in the talkpage archive), until he was told by Vanamonde <a class="external text" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:People%27s_Mujahedin_of_Iran&diff=prev&oldid=1012511012">here</a> that it was not an acceptable excuse. <a class="external text" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:People%27s_Mujahedin_of_Iran&diff=prev&oldid=1022839778">Here</a> Vanamonde added that he was "particularly tired of "The MEK is the subject of propaganda by the Iranian government" being used to stonewall any and all criticism." Similarly, they would object things even supported by 20 reliable sources (10 of them being scholarly ones)<a class="external autonumber" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:People%27s_Mujahedin_of_Iran&diff=prev&oldid=1028748118">[66]</a>. Another issue by them was "<b>filibustering</b>".

Moreover, he <a class="external text" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:People%27s_Mujahedin_of_Iran&diff=prev&oldid=932869751">warned</a> Stefka Bulgaria against tendentious editing.

The next issue was Stefka Bulgaria's "<b>overzealous trimming</b>" <a class="external autonumber" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:People%27s_Mujahedin_of_Iran&diff=prev&oldid=998079077">[67]</a> and "<b>railroading</b>" the opposing side by opening super-trim RFCs.

The dispute around this article predates the institution of GS in the area for several years; I remember Mhhossein and Stefka Bulgaria being regularly featured at ANI in relation to the dispute around this very article. I am not active in the area, though I have applied general sanctions a few times, as a response to requests at AN/ANI/RFPP as far as I remember. My impression is that this is indeed an issue related to behavior of the users. If we had a mechanism similar to AE for general sanctions, I would advocate considering the issue there, but we do not have such mechanism, and ANI does not work as usual, so I would say I weakly support acceptance, unless there are better ideas how we can treat this.--<a href="/wiki/User:Ymblanter" title="User:Ymblanter">Ymblanter</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Ymblanter" title="User talk:Ymblanter">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Iranian_politics#c-Ymblanter-2021-07-14T14:45:00.000Z-Statement_by_Ymblanter" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">14:45, 14 July 2021 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Ymblanter-2021-07-14T14:45:00.000Z-Statement_by_Ymblanter"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Ymblanter-2021-07-14T14:45:00.000Z-Statement_by_Ymblanter"></span> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Statement_by_El_C" data-mw-thread-id="h-Statement_by_El_C-Preliminary_statements-2021-07-14T15:08:00.000Z"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Statement_by_El_C-Preliminary_statements-2021-07-14T15:08:00.000Z"></span>Statement by El_C<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Statement_by_El_C-Preliminary_statements-2021-07-14T15:08:00.000Z"></span></h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Iranian_politics&action=edit&section=10" title="Edit section: Statement by El_C"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p><a href="/wiki/User:Idealigic" title="User:Idealigic"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-El_C-2021-07-14T15:08:00.000Z-Statement_by_El_C"></span>Idealigic</a>, as an arbitration case that ought to outline longstanding misconduct in the MEK article (and spillover disputes on other pages) over the course of years, it looks bad that you only present evidence against Mhhossein but not Stefka Bulgaria, seeing as they are pretty much the leading two voices in the opposing camps, and who are probably comparable in that regard. I say it looks bad because your view is more aligned with Stefka Bulgaria and misaligned with Mhhossein's. </p><p>I'd also correct you that Consensus required was not implemented with the IRANPOL GS. I proposed it a couple of years ago (before the GS), to which participants unanimously agreed. Anyway, Committee members and reviewers, here's the rundown: some progress can be made in the MEK article so long as there's a dedicated admin keeping a close eye, but it's taxing and time-consuming. I did it for a year or so, then it got too much. <a href="/wiki/User:Vanamonde93" title="User:Vanamonde93">Vanamonde93</a> (courtesy ping), as well, did so for about a year or so, until he too had had enough. </p><p>So, as of a few months ago, not only has there not been a dedicated admin helping with the unending disputes that plague the MEK page, no admin can be found to respond to even isolated requests, like, whatsoever (for obvious and understandable reasons, I'd say). What to do? Not sure, really. I'm missing a lot of details, especially from the last year or so (the Vanamonde era). But <i>something</i> should be done because, as it stands, this is broken and a timesink. I, for one, have run out of ideas and out of energy available to devote to this. Not sure how effective it'd be to absorb the MEK topic (entire IRANPOL GS?) into the ACDS regime. Possibly, but I kinda doubt that it can turn the tide. Who knows, though.

The lede section is far too long, probably because editors are putting everything, including kitchen sinks, into the lede, due to multiple opinions on what is important. The article talk page is difficult to read. I didn't try to assess it or determine who was at fault. (As a moderator, I was trying to maintain neutrality, and was becoming impatient.) However, unless somebody assesses the history and determines fault, the allegations and fault-finding will continue and worsen. ArbCom is the appropriate body to review the record and impose sanctions. </p><p>ArbCom should convert the existing community sanctions into ArbCom sanctions, but what is needed at this time is also an evidentiary hearing to identify and discipline disruptive editors. <a href="/wiki/User:Robert_McClenon" title="User:Robert McClenon">Robert McClenon</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Robert_McClenon" title="User talk:Robert McClenon">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Iranian_politics#c-Robert_McClenon-2021-07-15T00:21:00.000Z-Statement_by_Robert_McClenon_(Iran)" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">00:21, 15 July 2021 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Robert_McClenon-2021-07-15T00:21:00.000Z-Statement_by_Robert_McClenon_(Iran)"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Robert_McClenon-2021-07-15T00:21:00.000Z-Statement_by_Robert_McClenon_(Iran)"></span> </p><p><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Robert_McClenon-2021-07-15T00:21:00.000Z-Statement_by_Robert_McClenon_(Iran)-1"></span>I have at least one comment. </p> <dl><dt>Community and ArbCom Sanctions</dt></dl> <p>I have seen the comment made in this and other ArbCom case requests that ArbCom sanctions are more effective than community sanctions, because ArbCom sanctions are managed by <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:AE" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:AE">Arbitration Enforcement</a>.

In the end, what I recommend is that the committee should accept the case and review the conduct of all parties involved, as well as the effectiveness of the general sanctions which I’d say are not working very well. </p><p>A review of the history of <a href="/wiki/People%27s_Mujahedin_of_Iran" class="mw-redirect" title="People's Mujahedin of Iran">People's Mujahedin of Iran</a> and <a href="/wiki/Talk:People%27s_Mujahedin_of_Iran" class="mw-redirect" title="Talk:People's Mujahedin of Iran">its respective talk page</a> show intense disagreement followed up by poor discussion that is often uncivil and includes accusations of bad faith. This includes from the talk page as well as edit summaries of the constantly-reverted article. Despite attempts at dispute resolution and administrator mediation for quite a long period of time, it’s not going away, and the fighting over preferred versions which other editors have described as <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:BATTLEGROUND" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:BATTLEGROUND">WP:BATTLEGROUND</a> continue to persist. My sympathy goes to those who have been trying to get this situation under control; it seems like they’ve been through a lot. That a number of the involved parties appear to also want arbitration in their statements above suggests they feel they too need help to see this situation reach a resolution. </p><p>As part of <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:GS/IRANPOL" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:GS/IRANPOL">WP:GS/IRANPOL</a>, the involved article is the most acted upon based on the log. That all of that has happened and we’re still here, with these issues and exhausted moderators trying to tame the situation, tells me the GS isn’t working. It is my opinion that while DS may help, it wouldn't be the magic bullet that solves these problems.

When the community GS were authorized, the topic was rife with edit-warring, original research, and other associated behavioral issues. I believe the GS regime did a lot to curb the worst of these troubles. <div class="paragraphbreak" style="margin-top:0.5em"></div> That said, as I see it, the root of the problem is that every editor substantially involved with this topic has such strong views about it that they are unable or unwilling to dispassionately engage with the source material. Consequentially, virtually all talk-page discussions I am aware of have devolved into endless stone-walling. At this point, I do not believe there is much to differentiate the behavior of the various protagonists. It is possible we have reached the point where more draconian actions are needed. I have seriously considered mass topic-bans at various points, but haven't had the stomach to deal with the fallout: ARBCOM is in a better position to evaluate the need for such actions, and to deal with the aftermath, than any individual admins. Therefore, I think a full case is a good thing, though I hesitate about whether it's going to be worth the time it will take.<div class="paragraphbreak" style="margin-top:0.5em"></div> Given that a case is almost certain as I post this, I would make two strong recommendations. First, please do not restrict the case to the behavior of the four named parties. I would recommend that the behavior of every active user who has participated in more than two substantive discussions about the MEK be examined here. Second, here, as in many cases about politics, the line between content and conduct has blurred; particularly after <a href="/wiki/User:El_C" title="User:El C">El_C</a> and I levied a number of sanctions, the worst behavior has taken the form of cherry-picking sources favorable to one POV, or ignoring those favorable to the opposite. Determining where some users have crossed the line from reasonable exercise of judgement to POV-pushing will require examining some sources. <div class="paragraphbreak" style="margin-top:0.5em"></div> I also want to note that I will try my best to participate in the evidence and workshop phases, but my time online will be limited for some more days. <span style="font-family:Papyrus"><a href="/wiki/User:Vanamonde93" title="User:Vanamonde93">Vanamonde</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Vanamonde93" title="User talk:Vanamonde93">Talk</a>)</span> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Iranian_politics#c-Vanamonde93-2021-07-20T21:02:00.000Z-Statement_by_Vanamonde93" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">21:02, 20 July 2021 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Vanamonde93-2021-07-20T21:02:00.000Z-Statement_by_Vanamonde93"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Vanamonde93-2021-07-20T21:02:00.000Z-Statement_by_Vanamonde93"></span> </td></tr></tbody></table> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="Preliminary_decision" data-mw-thread-id="h-Preliminary_decision-2021-07-14T14:19:00.000Z"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Preliminary_decision-2021-07-14T14:19:00.000Z"></span>Preliminary decision<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Preliminary_decision-2021-07-14T14:19:00.000Z"></span></h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Iranian_politics&action=edit&section=17" title="Edit section: Preliminary decision"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-bar"><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-metadata"></div><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-actions"></div></div></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Clerk_notes" data-mw-thread-id="h-Clerk_notes-Preliminary_decision"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Clerk_notes-Preliminary_decision"></span>Clerk notes<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Clerk_notes-Preliminary_decision"></span></h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Iranian_politics&action=edit&section=18" title="Edit section: Clerk notes"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Modern_Iranian_politics:_Arbitrators'_opinion_on_hearing_this_matter_<10/0/0>" data-mw-thread-id="h-Modern_Iranian_politics:_Arbitrators'_opinion_on_hearing_this_matter_<10/0/0>-Preliminary_decision-2021-07-14T14:19:00.000Z"><span id="Modern_Iranian_politics:_Arbitrators.27_opinion_on_hearing_this_matter_.3C10.2F0.2F0.3E"></span><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Modern_Iranian_politics:_Arbitrators'_opinion_on_hearing_this_matter_<10/0/0>-Preliminary_decision-2021-07-14T14:19:00.000Z"></span>Modern Iranian politics: Arbitrators' opinion on hearing this matter <10/0/0><span data-mw-comment-end="h-Modern_Iranian_politics:_Arbitrators'_opinion_on_hearing_this_matter_<10/0/0>-Preliminary_decision-2021-07-14T14:19:00.000Z"></span></h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Iranian_politics&action=edit&section=19" title="Edit section: Modern Iranian politics: Arbitrators' opinion on hearing this matter <10/0/0>"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p><small><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Worm_That_Turned-2021-07-14T14:19:00.000Z-Modern_Iranian_politics:_Arbitrators'_opinion_on_hearing_this_matter_<10/0/0>"></span>Vote key: (Accept/decline/recuse)</small> </p> <ul><li>Awaiting comments, though I do note there's a lot of history in this post, the vast majority of the edits complained about in the bullet points are old, very few from this year.

As community processes for dealing with topic-wide conduct disputes have matured, ArbCom has had to handle fewer and fewer "traditional" cases (as opposed to cases in our exclusive jurisdiction, such as ADMINCOND, private information, etc.). This is a good trend, but this case presents the rightful exception. The topic area in question has been the subject of complex dispute (with roots outside Wikipedia) for years; things have been (barely) held together by the thankless efforts of a couple uninvolved administrators who now no longer have the capacity to play that role. Because processes short of ArbCom cannot be reasonably expected to improve matters in this topic area, I vote to accept.

I am of a mind that ArbCom should be increasingly taking on GS so that the advantages of DS, such as using AE, can be realized. As I see it, if the community has consensus to institute GS, it should follow that we, as representatives of the community, would also be able to pass DS in an area. But I do think we should do this process one at a time, and also ensure the community is behind us. <a href="/wiki/User:CaptainEek" title="User:CaptainEek"><span

Such editors may be the most knowledgeable people interested in creating Wikipedia content about the area or the dispute, and are permitted and encouraged to contribute if they can do so consistent with Wikipedia's fundamental policies. However, conduct that furthers a preexisting dispute on Wikipedia should receive special attention from the community, up to and including sanctions.
